2022 Western National Meet

DRIVE, ARRIVE, REVIVE & ENJOY WENATCHEE!

JULY 9 - JULY 14, 2022

By President Mike Rees, RG #18, Seattle, WA

The Early Ford V-8 Club of America has approved the Puget Sound Regional Group’s bid to host a 2022 Western National Meet in Wenatchee, Washington.

We are excited to bring Club members and their vintage V-8s to this beautiful city, located on the Columbia River, in northcentral Washington. Wenatchee is 148 miles from Seattle and the Apple Capital of the World. Wenatchee is also the center of Washington state’s system of Columbia River dams which provide power, irrigation, and recreation.

The Coast Hotel sits adjacent to the Wenatchee Convention Center. They offer views of the river and face on Wenatchee Avenue, which runs through the low-rise historic downtown. The city has a 1950s character, with highways and roads that were designed for Early Fords. Drives also offer fantastic scenic views.

You will have the opportunity to drive 24 miles to the Bavarian town of Leavenworth, nestled in the Cascade Mountains. A tour of Rocky Reach Dam offers insight into Washington’s hydro-electric system, which generates much of the region’s power. The Ohme Gardens provide a breathtaking view of the Cascade Mountains and the Columbia River valley.

Wenatchee has many things to see and do. To acquaint you with points of interest, please visit our website www.efv8psrg.org. The home page contains a link for the Western National Meet with videos showing a vibrant community of 35,000 people enjoying life and raising their families, free from the distractions of a large metropolitan city.

The Wenatchee Convention Center and The Coast Wenatchee Center Hotel are committed to creating a memorable experience for our National Meet. With the pandemic preventing any National meets in 2020 and 2021, we expect you will be excited to join us in Wenatchee. Our theme is: Drive, Arrive, Revive &

Enjoy Wenatchee!
